If you ask an expert what the industry's leading heavy-duty work truck is, there's a good chance that they will point at a Ford F-Series Super Duty for a good reason. Since its introduction, Ford's Super Duty pickup has held the top spot in the market for trucks weighing more than 8,500 pounds thanks to its best-in-class payload, gross vehicle weight ratings (GVWR), and trailer tow capabilities. The Super Duty that came out in 2008, just like what is presented here, only helped maintain its dominance in the pickup truck business. That year, the Super Duty received a brand-new model to the line, the F-450 pickup. What we have here is exactly that, a 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty that raised the bar for a heavy-duty pickup truck as a workhorse that was more capable than ever before.

Exterior and Interior

Flaunting extreme potential surpassing its already impressive siblings, the 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty benefits from a more robust and corrosion-resistant chassis. Bumper to bumper, this beast measures 21.9 feet (262.4 inches). This immense-looking pickup truck's appearance is backed by a black paint job and chrome fittings all around. Remember that it rides on not just four but six wheels with two Continental Conti Hybrid HS3 tires in front and four Firestone FS561 tires at the back. The long and spacious bed is topped off with a LEER topper, and additionally, you can spot a gooseneck hitch below the rear bumper. Since it's a rugged hauler, you might expect little from its interior. Albeit, you're in for a surprise, as the cabin of this 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty combines style and comfort to create an ergonomic living space for you. Leather seats, chrome around dials and vents, and wooden accents give this interior a mix of substance. It also offers storage spaces that can even fit a laptop.

Engine

A top-of-the-line pickup truck needs a sturdy power plant to promote its claims. In this case, it is a 6.4-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V8, which its owner states to be a new engine with less than 500 miles on it. It is capable of producing up to 350hp and 650 lb-ft of torque and delivers power via an automatic transmission. Its owner also noted that this Super Duty enjoys a new exhaust system and new stabilizer bars.
